NAME OF SUBJECT: SPECIAL CONTRACTS PAPER NO: P-VI

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Section.
As has already been examined in the last semester through an intensive study of the
general principles of contract, the essence of all commercial transactions is but
regulated by the law of contract. The expansion of commercial activities at a global
market environment makes the understanding of the law of contract even more
critical. Further, a lucid understanding of the fundamental principles of Special
Contracts facilitates not only resolving the disputes arising out of such contracts but
also in the drafting of contractual instruments. The law of Special Contracts is marked
by the peculiar and mostly predictable legal relationship subsisting between the
parties. The frequency of these kinds of transactions in the affairs of men has led to
the development of established rules of prescriptions and prohibitions determining the
implications and permissible possibilities of these kinds of contractual relations. The
fundamental principles of contractual relations continue to apply the special forms of
contract unless specifically excluded; as in case of the rule of consideration in case of
contract of agency.
Learning Outcome:
• The primary goal of this course is to acquaint the students with the basics of
Special Contracts. It enable them to grasp the nuances of the contractual
transactions involving these forms of contracts. They will be able to determine
the legality of the transactions and also the rights and duties of the parties
thereto.
• They will also be able to purposefully deal with the disputes arising out of such
contractual arrangements.
• This course is designed keeping in view the student perspectives to understand
the applicability of contract law in day to day life.

enable them to deal effectively with the various disputes related to contracts in

INTERNAL ASSESSMENT:
Project/Assignment: 12 ½ marks
Presentation: 12 ½ marks

Objective of labour law is to ensure social welfare of workers. These laws help
the employees to improve their social status i.e. material and morale of the
workers by providing adequate wages and safety measures, ensuring
appropriate working hours and health facilities. For hundreds of years, women
and ethnic minorities have faced discrimination that limited their job
prospects, subjected them to workplace abuses and greatly reduced the wages
they could expect. Labor laws protect equal opportunity by requiring employers
to give equal consideration to underrepresented groups, to pay equal pay for
equal work and to institute policies that limit or prevent structural
discrimination
Learning outcomes:
• Uniformity among all laws
• Awareness and knowledge about government schemes and policies.
• Extend and maintain industrial democracy

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Section.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Principles of Taxation Laws intends to appraise the students with the rules and
regulation according to which income of assessee is taxed in India and its
implications on the tax payers. The objective of drafting the syllabus in the
below mentioned manner is to give a comprehensive picture of the Income Tax
Act, 1961 in addition to the latest relevant Finance Acts.
Unit I begins with basic definitions which lay the foundation for appropriate
understanding of the concepts that follow in the later Units. Computation of
Gross Total Income is introduced in the amended syllabus as it is the opinion
of the concerned teachers that in addition to theoretical understanding of the
topic, students need to be equipped with the ability to solve practical problems
on the Gross Total Income.
Unit II includes Agriculture Income, Basic Exemptions under Section 10,

Income from Salary and Income from other sources which gives the students
an insight into the tax treatment of these heads of income and circumstances
under which exemptions may be claimed on Income. Agriculture Income and
its computation under the Scheme of Partial Integration has been introduced in
the amended syllabus at it is the opinion of the concerned teachers that
learning computation is imperative for the purpose of conceptual clarity. Also
this Unit introduces two heads of income and rest three are covered in the
units that follow.
Unit III includes Residential Status wherein the objective of teaching is to
appraise the students with rules that govern tax liability of an individual based
on their Residential Status. Profit and Gains of business or profession is the
third head of income which discusses tax treatment of income and allowed
deductions under the same. Clubbing of Income further enhances the
187
knowledge of students regarding aspects of Income Tax Act which expressly lay
down rules regarding checking tax evasion
Unit IV concludes the syllabus with topics like Income from House Property
and its deductions thereof, Capital Gain and calculation of Long Term Capital
Gains based on the concept of Indexed Cost. Set off or Carry Forward of Losses
marks the conclusion of all five heads of income whereby the chapters
discusses rules of set off and tax treatment of the same.
Learning Outcomes:

levied in India.
• Secondly, to study all heads of income and train the students to calculate tax
liability keeping in mind all rules and regulations of both taxation and
exemptions.
• Thirdly, to provide conceptual clarity on all concepts of income tax as all the
topics are intricately linked and intertwined with one another in a way that no
one topic can be fully understood if read in isolation.
• Fourthly, to understand the relevance of taxation in India and appreciate how
important it is in making financial decisions in practicality.
• Lastly, to equip the students with enough practical knowledge of the subject so
that they are not dependent on anyone when it comes to filling their own
income tax returns.
